Bonn

Until I moved to Bonn I lived in the countryside. This may be the reason I don't like cities much, except for Bonn. Although Bonn has only 360.000 inhabitants, it was the old capital of Germany. The German government is now located in Bonn. It is a good place to live.

Bonn has a 2000 year history. There are many places of interest to visitors. Lots of museums, with exhibitions of a very high standard, offering visitors a wide range of information.

Bonn is sourrounded by lots of very nice places, e.g. a forest area (National park) Siebengebierge. This area offers nice spots with great views to the Rhine Valley.
